dct:issued validation on opendata.swiss: don't publish datasets that are not yet released #171

Open sabinem opened 2 years ago

sabinem commented 2 years ago

Property: 'dct:issued' Class: ´dcat:Dataset' Implementation: in the implementation on opendata.swiss a dataset can be set to published despite the fact that the release date is in the future. Conformance: This is not conformant to DCAT-AP CH since the usage note on dct:issued says: "In a data portal, the dataset will only be publicly displayed if it has an issued date and if that date is not in the future." Proposal:

Remove this statement above from the usage note since DCAT-AP CH is a standard to describe metadata and no guidebook on when or how to publish that metadata.The decision on when to publish the dataset should be left to the data portal.

... Another possibility would be just to forget about this usage note. Do we really need such a mechanism? What do data publishers think about it? Do they want to be able to set a date in the future?

A date in the future does in my opinion not make much sense. Moreover, with it I am sort of making a promise I am not sure I can maintain (because delays always happen). So no, no date in the future in my opinion. Better no value

Thank you @AFoletti. I think you are pointing the core of the issue... I still think it's worth a discussion since I have the feeling other data providers were instead interested in communicating "I will publish this".

I agree with the original proposal of @sabinem to remove the usage note. This is not up to the standard to decide. It's up to opendata.swiss to add such a mechanism if needed.
